"I’m surprised that you can tell. Is it that obvious?" Ray touched his chin. He thought he covered it up
well.
He never allowed Vivian to intervene in his affairs because he was worried that she would gain
enemies from being involved.
Therefore, even if he was troubled, he would never tell her.
Nevertheless, Vivian was an intuitive woman. She could sense when something was wrong with him.
However, this time, he concealed it so well that even Vivian did not notice it. Unexpectedly, Luke
noticed that something was wrong.
"Did you investigate me, or did you notice it from something that happened?" Ray asked curiously.
"We''re friends. Why would I investigate you? I guessed that something was troubling you because you
went all out with Gordan," Luke said. He noticed that Gordan''s injuries were more severe than before.
Ray let out augh and admitted. "I did vent my anger on him, but it''s not all because of Vivian."
"Tell me more." Luke''s words were simple, but they indicated to Ray that Luke was considering whether
or not to help him.
After all, his capabilities in Russia were limited. A dragon would be teased by a shrimp in shoal water. It
might be a better option for Ray to deal with it by himself rather than for him to send in his men.
"It''s nothing for you to worry about. There have been several men causing trouble on my site. They
make a scene and grab whatever they can. It’s not out of the ordinary, but I can’t find out who these
people are. The most depressing thing is that I lost a deal that was about to close to an unnamed
organization. I lost a fair bit of revenue because of that," Ray said.
He had to support his sizable group of subordinates. As such, it was natural for him to be anxious
seeing that his revenue was decreasing.
It would be nice if he knew who hispetitors were, but he had no idea.
He got some of his men to investigate, but they either did not return or found nothing...
That was why he was in such a bad mood.
"Is that so?" Luke frowned.
Ray held a certain power in Russia and was an honorable man. Not many would dare threaten his
interests.
Even if they wanted to get involved, they would be forthright with it. Nevertheless, in the end, Ray
would more often than not be on the winning side.
This was known throughout Russia.
No one would be so stupid to fight with Ray. However, a daring organization had emerged. It was even
one that Ray had not been able to find out more about.
"Many new organizations have been established in recent years. Although we''re not the most
harmonious, none of them would take things so far with me. It''s not just me who''s suffering losses.
Everyone is suspicious of one another, and a fair few came to talk to me as they suspect that I''m
behind it," Ray said.
They would not trust him just on his words alone.
Since he was a suspect, the others would be more suspicious of him if he did not show any strong
proof that it was not him...
Luke kept silent for a few seconds. He thought of the Ind of Despair...
Although they had not made any big moves in the past few years, he knew that since the Ind of
Despair was re-established, they would not be willing to stay unknown or make some money by
working on mere tasks.
The Ind of Despair would embark on the same path as before sooner orter.
"Did you know that the Ind of Despair was re-established?" Luke asked.
Ray shook his head and replied, "There are rumors, but no one has evidence to prove that the Ind of
Despair has indeed re-established itself. The relevant Russian agencies have been monitoring the
ind where they used to be stationed. They found that no one wasing in or out."
"Although there''s no movement, you have to take it seriously. There''s someone from the Ind of
Despair nted around me," Luke said. They had no evidence that the Ind of Despair was
established again, but he did.
"What? Are you sure?" Ray was stunned and looked at Luke closely.
"That person has a tattoo of the Ind of Despair. The design is slightly different, but I''m certain that
they''re from the Ind of Despair," Luke said. The Ind of Despair had a rule. When they changed
leaders, the tattoo design must be changed as well.
The tattoo on the fake Bianca''s body included slight updates on the previous design.
"Is that person still around?" Ray asked. If that was the case, they could believe that the Ind of
Despair had indeed been re-established.
The others would also believe that what had been happening recently was because of the Ind of
Despair.
"That person was drugged. I was in control of her when it was time for her to take the antidote, so she
didn''t manage to take it. She died a sudden death," Luke said. If it were not for the drug, he might have
gotten some information from the fake Bianca.

"What a pity..." Ray said disappointedly. He trusted Luke.
However, his trust in Luke was not enough. He needed other evidence to prove it to others.
"I didn''t know that she''d be of any use to you. Otherwise, I would have photographed some evidence
for you," Luke said.
"Did that person do anything to you?" Ray asked.
Luke could not tell him much, so he just shook his head. "She didn''t seed, but since those from the
Ind of Despair were nted by my side, I suspect that the people who are causing you trouble may
also be them. If there''s a next time, keep them under your control. The tattoos on their body can be
covered up, and they''ll only show if a special potion is applied. I''ll ask Gale to send you the form.
Get your subordinates to make it and find an opportunity to see if you can find evidence."
"Okay, thank you so much." Ray did not expect Luke to be able to do him such a big favor.
It was not that he had never caught those people. He had handed them to the police and even
interrogated them himself, but he never found out which gang the other party belonged to.
Luke''s words gave him some hope.
If he found proof that those people were from the Ind of Despair, he and the people from other
gangs would not be suspicious of each other. He would have the confidence to deal with them as well...
Although the Ind of Despair was powerful, it had just been established. The veterans were still in
prison, so it would not be much of a problem if they worked together to fight against the new Ind of
Despair.
"Don''t thank me. I''m trying to help Gordan too. As long as your anxiety isn''t resolved, Gordan will only
get more beatings when he pisses you off," Luke said.
He thought it was normal for men to get physical.
However, it was not normal for Gordan to be Ray''s punching bag.
It was impossible to keep Gordan in check, so he could only start with Ray.
What he did not expect was that his previous experience came useful...
"I wouldn''t have to hit Gordan if he didn''t pick a fight..." Ray squinted his eyes. If it were not for the
presence of Luke and the others, Gordan might have been beaten up so badly that he would have to
be hospitalized.
After all, Ray would never show mercy when he was in a bad mood.
"I know, but it''s hard to keep him out of trouble." Luke nodded.
"You know him well." Ray agreed. If it were not for Vivian, Ray would have killed Gordan thousands of
times over. He would not have waited until now.
